Description
This is a preliminary version of an older animated transformation sequence of the character from my standalone pic, Death From Above.Obviously, this still needs lighting and shadows, texture work, props, camera cuts and some animation tweaks. I like the basic shapes and structure of the transformation, though.
The concept:
A guy fantasizes about flying. A witch gives him a black feather necklace, which transforms him into an anthropomorphic raven. It's definitely more than he bargained for, but he soon learns to cope. If you've seen Death From Above, you know what I mean.
In the final version, I'm debating making the subject a kid, and adding age progression elements to the sequence. As always, I welcome feedback on that or any other aspect of the work.

very nice ^^ the lift off just needs to be less stiff. wings go up before flapping down and the force creates an impact on the body. Study the flight of birds before and after lift off to help make the animation less stiff. other than that it is aesthetically pretty.

Nice, I've been looking for a good starting point for an anthropomorphic raven with wings for a D&D Kenku character I have. Love the transformation of the body orientation, but don't like the absurd muscles - especially in the neck.

Nice work. Love the beak push and the feet change.

I like the lift off part. But you should of give a bigger flap for the wings to give an even better lift off look

Phantasmagoric. My favorite part is the fluid liftoff.
